Fear to Faith



Your enemy of fear prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist fear, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. When I stood, God stood with me. When I grounded myself in God's Word, I became immovable and determined through God. Over the years, I have continued to become established, securely grounded, and strengthened. I have determined to stay His course, to become all He created and designed me to be.


Nothing in all my reading of psychology helped me overcome fear. My readings had not given me anything I could use to test what was truly rational versus what was irrational what truth versus what was a lie was. Since my early beliefs were grounded and rooted in religious doctrines, I turned to the Al Quran for answers. I made a decision to hold every belief to be false or corrupted until I could validate it in God's Word.


I humbled myself and decided that in order to overcome fear, I needed God's help. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. I made the decision that I would cast all my anxieties, all my worries, all my concerns, once and for all on Him and trust Him to teach me what I needed to know to change fear into faith. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. I began to overcome fear when I took a stand against the fear, declaring my fear to be the liar while choosing to believe God, accepting everything He said as truth, be self-controlled and alert.


I encourage you to seek God's truth, challenge every fear based thought to find out what is really true and what is a lie. I encourage you to make the Al Quran your standard of truth and trust God to help you separate truth from lies. Everything you need to overcome fear is available to you through God and can be found by those who seek Him, who learns to put on His character as their own, and who abides in His Word.
